Is Stuffing Keto Friendly?

Traditionally, stuffing is not keto-friendly because it’s made with white bread that’s too high in carbs. But fortunately, you can still enjoy stuffing on a keto diet by making a few easy changes.

Keto Stuffing Ingredients

For this low-carb stuffing, you need a few ingredients that are cheap and very accessible. Here is a note on the ingredients:

  • Keto Cornbread –make the homemade almond cornbread the day before. You can also use keto croutons instead.
  • Vegetables –I used yellow onion, celery stalks, and carrots to replicate the classic flavor.
  • Seasonings –feel free to use your stuffing seasonings like dried oregano, chicken seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Chicken Broth –you can also use vegetable broth if you want. It helps to moisten the stuffing.

How To Make Keto Stuffing (Dressing)

To prepare this delicious stuffing, follow the next few simple, easy steps. Here is everything you have to do:

  1. Make the keto cornbread according to the instructions here. Allow to cool and cut into cubes. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until crispy.
  2. Brown the sausage into a skillet over medium heat and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  3. Melt the butter, and saute the onion, celery, and carrots for 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cornbread croutons, sausage, and sauteed vegetables. Add the seasonings and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch casserole and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden.

Tips and Variations For Making The Best Low Carb Keto Stuffing

  • Make the bread the day before to save time. Also, day-old bread soaks up all the liquids and flavor without getting soggy.
  • Don’t add too much broth; otherwise, your stuffing will be too soggy.
  • Make a double batch if you’re planning to feed a crowd that loves stuffing or plan to store the leftovers. This recipe makes 8 decent servings, but you might enjoy an extra portion.
  • For a vegetarian stuffing, leave out the sausage.
  • You can also replace the cornbread with cooked cauliflower florets for even more fiber and flavor.

Storing Leftovers

  • Fridge –You can store the leftovers in an airtight container for three days and reheat them with a little extra chicken broth when you want to eat them.
  • Freezer –You can also freeze the leftovers for up to two months and thaw them in the fridge until you are ready to eat them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stuffing Vs. Dressing

Stuffing and dressing are usually confused since they are practically the same thing with a few small differences, depending on how they are cooked. So since stuffing is generally used to stuff a turkey or chicken, dressing requires only to be baked and then enjoyed as a side dish.

What Bread Is The Best For This Low-Carb Stuffing?

When choosing the bread for this recipe, make sure that it is moist and fluffy because once cooked in the oven, it will get the perfect texture for the stuffing.

Can I Use This Recipe To Stuff My Turkey?

Sure, use the following steps of this recipe until the baking step. Then instead of baking it in a pan, fill your turkey with it. Just make sure the stuffing reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can I Make This Recipe Ahead Of Time?

Sure, prepare the stuffing as instructed in the recipe card below. Then, after you put it into the baking dish, wrap it in plastic foil and store it in the fridge. Then when you are ready to eat it, bake it in the oven for 20 minutes.

Can I Use Eggs to Make Stuffing?

My recipe doesn’t call for eggs, but you can use eggs to bind everything together and help the stuffing hold its shape. Whisk 2 large eggs into the stuffing mixture before baking.
